Defining polling interval on customization file

Hello everyone,
I have a requirement: define a polling interval (in this specific case for a email polling proxy, however it would be useful for a file polling proxy as well) in a customization file.
It seems a simple task, however i could not find a way to perform...
I've searched here in the forums and have found nothing (if someone finds a thread about this please provide the link).
I've googled a bit as well, and the result was the same...
In this blog post http://wesselj.blogspot.pt/2012/01/oracle-service-bus-good-bad-and-ugly.html we can read:
"+(...) Customization files. Inflexible, verbous and complex to maintain. Not everything can be customized with the customization files, some like passwords are reasonable, *but things like polling interval for file integration would be nice to be able to change between environments*.+"
And in this document http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11036_01/alsb30/pdf/consolehelp.pdf , in the customization topic (page 29-1), there is nothing mentioning polling interval...
The environment installed is OSB 11gR1.
Any suggestions on how to perform this task?

Any ideas?

Poll interval for sender file adapter.

I have a 1_sender file NFS file adapter which picks a trigger file from X location in PI application server, this trigger file initiates the unix script present in the sender file adapter.
Unix script brings all the file which starts with 25588* from bank FTP and places in Y location in PI application server then script deletes the "trigger file".
another NFS File adapter 1_receiver file adapter places the trigger file in the X location of PI.
for 1_sender file poll interval given as 86400, that means it should trigger only once a day @ 1:30pm.
But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.

Vidya,
There are two things :-
1. The polling interval should be 24 hrs;
2. The polling interval should be 24 hrs and it should poll at 1:30 pm every day.
For any reason if the channel is re-started, then with your present configuration, you will never be able to achieve # 2.
So, better use ATP.
But today same sender file adapter had triggered 4 times, could any one let me know the reason why it had triggered 4 times instead of single time.
Might be the connection dropped / failed at the time of polling and the channel re-tried. If you give more details (what time and with how much interval it triggered), someone might be able to help.

BPM polling interval

Hi, does anybody know if there is a way to establish a polling interval for a BPM in XI ? for example, you can configure a polling interval for the file adapter and this enables you to read a certain filesystem directory every n minutes/seconds...
Is there a way to do the same for a BPM ?
This cuestion comes form the fact that there is no way to configure a´polling interval for the RFC adapter.
Does anybody know if this is posible ?

Hello Hans,
You can schedule a BPM..
Now BPM can only be scheduled by sending a dummy message to XI.
Here are some blogs to helo you:

XI file adapter polling faster than poll interval

Hi,
We are facing a issue with the file adapter/authorization of the FTPUSER.
We FTP a server and pick up a file from a particular folder.
My polling interval is 2 minutes
My retry interval is space.
Processing mode : ARCHIVE
We are archiving it on a Network attached server(NAS) mounted on our XI server.
When XI polls for the first time it picks up the file but the sender file adapter shows following error in RWB.
<b>2006-01-20 11:31:08 GMT: Error: Deleting of file 'ARUCSjnewb80.txt' failed - cannot proceed: FTPEx: ARUCSjnewb80.txt: Access is denied.</b>
The picked up file gets processed but at the same time just within 12-13 seconds of the first poll XI picks up the file second time and then in another 3 seconds for the third time.
After this the file gets archived thrice in the archive directory and then gets deleted from the source directory.
We are unable to understand why XI is polling again after few seconds of the first poll.(As per my understanding it should have polled after 2 minutes).
I am able to delete the file manually from the Ftp server.
Could anyone give a pointer towards what we are missing or what probable reasons could be?
authorization issue?( XIADM /ftpuser have full authorization)
Some adapter setting?
Regards,
Sulakshana

Hi,
Could you let me know how frequent the file gets loaded to the FTP server.
Is your file size too large to get loaded.. If so try to increase the polling interval. Also make sure that you have provided the polling time in sec and not in minutes...i.e for 2 minutes it should have been specified as 120 sec as polling interval

Polling interval in file adapter.

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding the file adapter polling interval.
Suppose we get a file of size 512 MB and PI file adapter taking long time (say 15 Min) to process it, we have a polling interval of 10 min.
I have a 2 doubt in this case.
1. what will happen in the next polling interval. because the older file still is in process and it is still in the source folder location.
2. if at the same time there is new file get places in same folder location. then how the file adapter behave in this case. Is it start picking the second file or again poll the incomplete file.
I want to know that is PI maintaining some lock while processing some file from source folder.
regards,
Navneet

Hi,
I guess normally it should process both files, earlier one which is in process and the new one as well (it depends your selection string in file name scheme).
Also refer thsi Wiki to help in avoiding duplicate file processing:

Sender File Adapter always "Polling interval started" without complete

Hi,
I have problem with sender file adapter suddenlty the status from Communication Channel Log monitoring always with polling started without completed.
4/25/11 11:40:33 AM   Polling interval started. Length: 10.0 seconds
4/25/11 11:40:23 AM   Polling interval started. Length: 10.0 seconds

4/25/11 11:41:40 AM   Processing finished successfully
4/25/11 11:41:40 AM   Processing started
I have tried to stop and start the channel but still no luck. This problem only happen for this particular communication channel others channel is working fine.
Please advise other solution before i need to restart the java engine since this in the production environment. The problem is some of the process was delayed because this issue. CC was delayed to pickup the file.
Thank You in advance.

Hi Abhistek,
Thank you for your correction. It was typo.
Which assumption is correct ?
1. All 3 instance running together in the same time ? or
2. Either 1 of the instance running once time manage by clustering setting.
Example :
15:01:00   ---> A
15:02:00 -
> A
15:03:00 -
> B
15:04:00   -
> B
Currently :
15:01:00   -
> A
15:01:00   -
> B (lock)
15:02:00 -
> A
15:02:00 -
> B (lock)
It seems all 3 instance lose control from clustering ?

Sender File Adapter - Restrict number of file polled at each poll interval

Hi all,
PI 7.0 SPS16.
We would like to know whether it is possible to configure a sender file adapter (file conversion mode) in order to restrain the number of file taken at each poll interval and if yes how ?
Thanks for your future answers.
Jean-Charles

Hi Jean
Standard adapter do not provide functionality to take an input like number of files to be taken at poll interval. But using adapter module you can achieve this.
SAP PI is having the function to set poll timings and scheduling. You can write adapter module and execute this module using File adapter type communication channel before the standard bean and you can restrict the number of files.
Check the link given above as well as this How to Guide

How to increase the files picked up by File Adaptor per poll interval

Hi,
We have a scenario where in we post 80 files in the source directory and and the file adapter is configured for every 300 sec but i have noticed that the File adaptor is picking up one or two files per poll interval.Can some please suggest how to increase the number of files picked up by File adaptor
Thank You,
Nandini

Nandini:
Did you mention all the files names in the Adapter channel. One thing you can do is use wild cards and file adapter picks most of them
/people/mickael.huchet/blog/2006/09/18/xipi-how-to-exclude-files-in-a-sender-file-adapter
In case if your files are huge, then I guess file size may cause to process few files during each poll

File adapter not reading (not starting polling interval)

Hello,
I've got one communication channel trying to read a file each 10 seconds.
The file adapter is configured correctly and the channel is started but sometimes it stops the polling interval process and I don't know why.
For example the channel was working fine until Friday but with no reason it stopped to attempt to read the file on the directory... what can it be?
And another question. What's the difference about communication channel with "Automatic control" or "Started" manually?

Hi,
And another question. What's the difference about communication channel with "Automatic control" or "Started" manually?
Whenever you create new communication channel in Integration directory and activate it,its status in control data is Automatically and whenever you change it in RWB (Stop/Start) its status changes to Mannually.
Thanks!

Maximum Polling Interval in File Adapter

Hi,
Can you please let me know what can we set as the maximum polling interval in the Sender File adapter?
I have a scenario where I am setting the File Adapter polling interval as 7884000 secs. i.e.2190 hr= approx 3 months.
But the file adapter is polling at very short intervals.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Regards,
Sampada

You need to configure the polling settings so that the system does not become overloaded, but at the same time, in a way that end users do not notice a major decrease in performance over time. Keep in mind that the greater the polling interval, the less frequently users will receive updates.

OSB File Transport Polling Interval

HI,
I need to know can i set File Polling Interval in milliseconds in OSB 11g. By default is in Seconds....
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15867/proxy_services.htm#i1276922
i have found a link which says we can set in milliseconds also but that is in 10g
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/httppollertransport/transports.html#wp1076007
So please let me know how to set polling interval in milliseconds !!
Abhinav Gupta

Abhinav,
SLA of just a second is too short when it involves reading a file and calling a web-service as well. Here the size of file and load may also cause delay, even there is possibility that OSB may read half written files. Anyways, file an enhancement request with support and let OSB Product Development review your requirements. If found feasible and valid then you should get this functionality as a patch.
As a workaround, you may consider using a java utility to poll the file and invoke OSB service though it's not an attractive solution and you may face issue of reading half-written/incomplete files. I would consider reviewing the solution design here.

Polling interval

Hi All,
Please help me regarding, how to set polling interval, in case of IDoc-File Scenario.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sree

Hi Rama,
Just to add on to what others have told. Since your taking an example of a file IDOC Scenario understand the sameI will also try explaining with that in mind.
In the case of a File IDOC scenario, The XI Sender File Adapter picks up the file to send to the target/receiving system. The Sender File Adapter can be configured to poll at regular intervals. The polling interval can be set as per the schedule of the extract program. In case the extract is on-demand, then you can set the polling interval to 60 secs or 600 secs. The point is that the interface can be triggered by the File Adapter polling mechanism.
There are a few parameters which you define while configuring the Sender File/FTP Adapter, so I thought I will just tell you what exactly a few of them relating to polling time mean:
1. Poll Interval (secs) - Number of seconds that the adapter must wait if no files are found for processing.
2. Poll Interval (msecs) - Additional waiting time in milliseconds.
- If Poll Interval (secs) is set to null, processing times will be short and close to real time.
- If Poll Interval (secs) and Poll Interval (msecs) are set to null, the adapter is only called once.
3. Retry Interval (secs) - Specify the number of seconds that the adapter is to wait before a file processed with errors is processed again.
- If the value is set to null, then the adapter is canceled if an error occurs, even if a value greater than null is specified for Poll Interval (secs).
While configuring a sender file adapter, a major mistake that we often do is keeping file adapter communication channel polling interval less and in test mode. It is not an error, keeping it in test mode with less polling interval but, often we forget about it, keeping the adapter channel active and it loads the server memory unnecessarily.

Can we have a high Polling interval

Hi All,
It is a File to R3 scenario. I have three questions:
1. Can we have a polling interval as 5 hours. If not what is the least time that can be given.
2. The files might be put by the users in the end of the day. So, can the communication channel be turned on and off only when the files are put in the ftp. And if the channels are on all the time, is it a problem.
3. The Production landscape was also configured newly. Now i have done the configuration in Production. The receiver channel is a XI adapter. Now can i check if everything is working fine. I mean how can i check if the data will get transferred to the R3.

Hi Lavanya,
>>>Can we have a polling interval as 5 hours. If not what is the least time that can be given.
Setting polling interval in comm channel level is not best practice/suggestable...you can schedule the channel in RWB ATP so the channel would be available in that perticular time period
>>>The files might be put by the users in the end of the day. So, can the communication channel be turned on and off only when the files are put in the ftp. And if the channels are on all the time, is it a problem.
Though the channel available all time it is not a problem...but any way if you think files will be arrived only at perticular time then ATP scheduling would be the better option
>>>The Production landscape was also configured newly. Now i have done the configuration in Production. The receiver channel is a XI adapter. Now can i check if everything is working fine. I mean how can i check if the data will get transferred to the R3
you can check SXMB_MONI transaction in SAP ECC system

OSB::Operational Settings in the Customization File

Hi,
In OSB, I was wondering is there any way to put in the Operational Settings (like Monitoring and Aggregation Interval) as well as SLA Alerts in the Customization File that we generate from the sbconsole.
I dont seem to be getting the values as <Monitoring> is enabled or not, in the Customization File that we create.
Hope the question is clear.
Regards

Hi,
You can use customization files to make changes to environment values as well as to change references within resources. It is not meant to change the Operational Settings or any other configuration.

Polling of the current file from multiple files in the FTP Server

Hello Experts
I am working on a file to file scenario.We have to poll the file from the FTP server which may contain multiple files with different creation dates.The requirement is to poll only the file created in the current date.Could anyone throw some light on this.
Thanks & Regards
Sabyasachi

Hi Sabyasachi,
You can archive the files that you do not need into another folder manually for the first time.
Later you can schedule the file adapter to poll the folder only once in a day (Poll INterval = 86400 secs)
Do not forget to set the option to archive/delete the file that are already processed.
